I`m guessing it`s because a majority of NHRA Super Class racers have never run a T-Stop on the 1/8 mile.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure none have run it on 1000' either. I think they just thought it might make it a bit more enticing to give the extra length to draw a few more racers. They should let us run it to since most of us stock racers are more accustomed to a 1000'!

You must have seen Vegas time trials. LOL

Are the scoreboards at 1/8 mile? Sure would be weird driving past the scoreboards to get to the finish line. I'll bet there will be some issues with someone lifting at the wrong stripe.

Again this year this evenly will run 1/8 mile. Again this year will have a dismal turnout. What's wrong with 1/4 mile recing? If the participants and down again this year, someone is trying to tell you something.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that the race at Empire is going to run eighth mile, sure you will get the IHRA die hards but you're not going to draw the NHRA racer's that run quarter mile everywhere else.Why is it so hard for the higher ups to figure out?

[Cameron Collins]

Score boards are probably at the quater mile or atleats pass the thousand foot Mark. I say give it a few years and the track will diffently be a full quarter mile with plenty of shut down.

[Adger Smith]

Just by a quick check on Google Earth I think it has a total length of about 3200 feet.

Its a real nice place, and I mean real nice place to race. With it being 1/8 mile no AHFS.

Spring time records always smell the best.

Actually most have. The probem is, most don't like 1/8th mile which is why so many stayed home, me included. If 1/8th mile was so popular, IHRA would have much better car counts, but they don't. Having said that, no one has any info or an index for 1000' throttle stop racing, and truthfully, even though they will come up with an index and most will be able to dial to that index, I still have no interest.
